you could  get the 1600 and use the stock cooler

If you are going to OC your CPU, then go with 1600 version instead of 1600X, since performance will be the same.

And you can OC any of those to 3,8GHz without problems.

 

That way you save 30$, that you can put toward better cooling solution if you will need one.

Stock cooler isn't bad at all, but if you won't be satisfied with it, just remove OC and order some CPU cooler with bigger heatsink. Simple as that.

 

But my R7 1700 and 3,85GHz was able to survive on stock cooler. It was reaching almost 80°C, but keep in mind that that was during summer with 30°C ambient temperature and 1700 have 2 more cores than 1600.

personally i was going for i5 7600k but i saw the figures of ryzen 1600x and got impressed so in my first build i am trusting amd but i will definitely run the cpu at stock i am rarely gonna overclock if buy chance my mind set changes that's why i am getting 1600x cpu cooler 1600x stock is better than 1600 and 30 dollars won't make a big difference so i am going with 1600x

yes the 1600 is basically the same thing as the 1600x

great !! you know what i am a intel fanboy and was going for i5 7600k but a member warned me i dig some researching and found that ryzen 1600 is awesome compared to 7600k ryzen true powers come in handy when editing and picture rendering and ryzen was just 3 fps down compared to 7600k so ryzen is best!!

It's actually only $20 cheaper right now, I'd actually go with the 1600x too except I've hit my budget limit

I mean, you know about the shitty VRM but if your highside fails it will fry the CPU 

And because highside is the most crappy on MSI, i would be worried
